Workshop: Managing Pastures Through Drought

January 12, 2024
From Fairfield County Soil

& Water Conservation District
& the Ohio Department of Agriculture

The extreme drought of 2024 took its toll on hay and pasture fields across much of Ohio. Many producers were forced to make difficult decisions and take a hard look at their operations.

As we’ve moved into winter, it is time for producers to start planning for the next year. In this workshop, we’ll discuss pasture management and opportunities for producers to improve or enhance their operations that will help them withstand extreme and unexpected weather conditions.

When: Tuesday, January 14, 2025, at 6:30 pm
Location: Fairfield County Ag Center (831 College Avenue, Lancaster)
